If there’s one thing cyber security professionals are almost annoyingly good at, it’s at scaring the bejeezus out of newbies and amateurs who are just minding their own business. They might for example tell you that running WordPress as is leaves your website very vulnerable. And the bad news is that they’re not wrong.

The fact of the matter is that WordPress is a standardized open source software, where hackers can scan and look at every piece of code for weaknesses to exploit.CONTINUE READING »

No website is complete without a design that grabs and holds your reader’s attention. With so many themes for WordPress sites on the market, it can be easy be overwhelmed by the amount of choice.

How do you know which theme is the best for you without trying it out first? What if you need to make extensive customizations but have a limited budget? Perhaps your design knowledge is lacking and you don’t have the budget to hire someone to do it for you.CONTINUE READING »

As the need for being able to provide impeccable customer service to online viewers has risen, many have stepped up to the plate with actionable solutions. One such solution is that of incorporating a Live Chat option on your site so that you and your customers can connect easily.

How do you monetize your website and create a community around the followers you have accumulated? One of the easiest ways to complete both of these tasks is by creating a job board portion of your site. For example, if you run a mom blog, why not create a job board for babysitters?
